Bitcoin Forms Classic Bull Flag – Is An Explosive Price Surge On The Way?

Reading time: 2 minutes

De Bitcoin course is currently hovering just below the crucial $105.000 mark. Tensions are rising, and it seems that a major breakout is imminent. Both technical indicators and on-chain data indicate that Bitcoin is preparing for a new, potentially explosive, upward movement.

Bull flag points to possible continuation of the uptrend

A striking pattern is now emerging: the bull flag. This is a continuation pattern that often follows a strong price increase, followed by a period of sideways or slightly downward price action. Once the price breaks above the resistance line of this pattern, a strong continuation of the upward trend is usually the result. The current consolidation of Bitcoin shows clear similarities with a bull flag, which opens the door to possibly new all-time highs.

ETF inflows and strong volumes support the rise

During the recent surge from $75.000 to $105.000, there was a strong inflow into spot Bitcoin ETFs. Additionally, spot volumes increased significantly and massive liquidations took place, indicating increased activity among both retail and institutional investors. However, the $105.000 area also seems to be a point where many investors are taking profits.

On-chain data confirms bullish potential

The numbers paint a hopeful picture. Short-term holders (STHs) are currently realizing profits that have increased, but are still nowhere near the highs seen during previous bull cycles. This suggests that there is room for further price increases.

Risk of relapse remains

However, not everything is rosy. There is a risk of a short-term correction. A possible pullback to the support zone between $100.000 and $90.000 is not out of the question. I would not be surprised to see a BTC sell-off in the short term, especially if stocks reverse and form a higher bottom. Considering that many stocks have risen by 30% to 50% in a month, that is not surprising.
